Friday photo shoot & My Birthday

Friday we had a little photo shoot with Jayni (maryann's girl)and Lydia and Brigham (leanne's two youngest) We got some cute pictures.

My Birthday was really a fun day. a while back I saw that there was a 5 K that was on my birthday so I told Cam that is what I wanted to do and we invited Leanne and her kids, Maryann and Jani came and Amie and Eric and their kids joined us as well. Our kids have know about it for a couple of weeks and trained a little. Cam bought them new running shoes and we told them we would go to IHOP after the race. They were excited. They have done one other 5 K and loved the prizes after and the excitement of people cheering. The race didn't start til 8 and to we were to be lined up at 7:30 so Cam woke the kids up at 6 to give me my presents. I have ordered a few things that I wanted for the baby but Cam still went to town at Bath & Body and got me a perfume set from estee Lauder, a digital frame, and the kids picked out a cute notebook they wanted to give me. they see me writing things down all the time. My sisters gave me a cute watch that I have really wanted and a cute diaper bag I wanted (thank you- I love them!!) Anyway we then went to the race at about 715 and when we pulled up we saw Leanne, amie and eric and maryann and Clayton there. We were the only ones there. They were there setting up the park for the days events. there were maybe 20 other people that showed up before 8. We were 17 of the maybe 40 people that did the 5K. There wasn't really even an official start-they said ok go. It really was interesting. They were giving the kids candy before the race so as soon as we started the kids were complaining of side aches. Payton really amazed us all. right from the beginning he took off and didn't stop til the end. He was the first one done. Bryson and Brielle did really good. They jogged most of the time with a few walk breaks. Trey was the youngest one registered to walk. He jogged a lot of it but took quite a few breaks on the stroller. Jayni came along in the stroller. Eric had to stop and pump up his stroller 3 times. I enjoyed the workout. My favorite part was when Marcus was getting tired he said, why would you want to do this for your birthday this isn't fun. And Natalie said she never wanted to be invited to a birthday party like this again. I think they all enjoyed IHOP after. After the race, Brielle and I got pedicures. She loved it. We came home and got ready to take the kids to Kung fu Panda. a really cute show. We came home took naps, and relaxed a little then went back to town square to get our prize for being the biggest group to race and Trey got a bear for being the youngest racer. Our group prize was kind of lame. we got about 6 books, an oil change, a three day pass to a gym, and a gift certificate to orange peal (we do love orange peal). The kids were able to get a few tickets and ride some rides but the highlight was the dunking machine. We went and got a bite to eat at Charlies and came home and had Cake and Ice Cream (baskin robbins-yummy!) It was a really fun day. the kids were wiped out. Thank you everyone for coming to the 5K and to eat with us. It was fun! I also got a nice card and money from mom and Laurie sent me some cute flip flops-thank you Laurie-you are always so good to remember. Heidi was also in town and stopped by to say hello-always fun to see her. I felt bad that the schools didn't get a better turnout for their 5K and activities but I felt special because it felt like they did all that work just for me. It was a great birthday! Here are some of the pics-I am really bad at putting stuff in order.
I really liked the movie! It was funny.
